He’s designed productions nationally and internationally across a range of genres and disciplines over 40 years.
In 2017, Simon collaborated with Richard Gregory to create the opening event for the Manchester international Festival ‘What Is the City but the People’ from an idea by Jeremy Deller – and has worked on re-presenting the project in all its iterations since then.
